I love Bridezillas, it’s my guilty pleasure. There was an episode with a bride named [name_f]Amanda[/name_f], and her sister was named… Jomanda. [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] and Jomanda. You can guess which was the oldest.
But the best was one I saw on facebook, as a friend-of-a-friend:
I-Esha.
Well I went to school with a girl named Ilaysha [a horribly misspelled, genderbent version of [name_u]Elisha[/name_u]]
I know an [name_f]Ieisha[/name_f] and a friend goes to school with a Kiehana (variation of [name_f]Kiana[/name_f])
[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] and like lke Jomanda even less.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] names in your signature!
I know an [name_f]Iesha[/name_f] and and [name_f]Isha[/name_f]. [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] and Jomanda are pretty bade though
Jomanda is awful. I ran across a Jord-N recently. To be pronounced [name_u]Jordan[/name_u], but I did immediately think Jord dash N. [name_u]Unique[/name_u] spellings have always seemed pointless to me. But then most of my interactions with people are in person, face to face. Most people are not seeing my name spelled out most of the time.
I was just visiting some younger relatives- teens to early twenties. And while I am sure this is not fair to say of all millennials, it does seem like the younger generation spends [name_m]WAY[/name_m] more time online and gaming and texting on their phones and so forth. So maybe these moms coming up with new ways to spell [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] or whatever are onto something- they are trying to give their kids a name that will set them apart online instead of letting their daughter be Jordan4984.
Probably someone has written a much more eloquent article about this, I am just trying to keep an open mind about Jord-N and the like.
I know a KT opposed to [name_f]Katie[/name_f]/[name_f]Katy[/name_f] and I also know a Pheeonna instead of [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], it’s just too far.
